Sharron Angle hasn’t been the beneficiary of much good press — and now that she’s got some, she’s being sued over how she’s using it.
In a lawsuit filed Friday, Las Vegas-based Righthaven LLC says the Nevada Republican Senate nominee has violated copyright laws by posting two newspapers stories in their entirety on her campaign website.
The proposed remedy: Righthaven is asking a federal district judge for statutory damages for willful infringement of the two articles, attorneys’ fees and control of Angle’s domain name, sharronangle.com.
The two articles at issue — a pro-Angle editorial from July 21 and an Aug. 3 news story — both ran in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which has sold Righthaven the rights to its stories.
